From Wikipedia here and I hope I am allowed to copy and paste this: “Needlefish (family Belonidae) or long toms are piscivorous fishes primarily associated with very shallow marine habitats or the surface of the open sea.
If you Google the word needlefish and then sit down and think about it, needlefish as a name for a type of lure we might use for our bass fishing doesn’t actually make that much sense.
